Still wish I gave a damn about Ninjago...but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the occasional set

Watch the cartoons, they're really good fun. I wasn't interested in Ninjago at all, even after watching the film. Now I think it's great.

I don't care much for the cartoons - my son does, but I think some of the bigger sets make good display pieces.

Box art photo has already leaked at the usual places.

It´s a minifig heavy set with lots of brown parts, including the dock promenade section.

Seems some people are able to take clandestine pics at the Nuremberg fair.

Upon first glance it looks good.

Looking forward to some better pictures.

Based on my sources, the name on this is "The Dockyards"

It looks cool, but it's not nearly as impressive as Ninjago City.

I was expecting a lot more. Kind of disappointing. Although I believe the connectibility is just an afterthought, as age range is also quite different from Ninjago City, so it is supposed to be toned down compared to that from the beginning.

I like it!! Adds some life to a city with just ordinary buildings in the background. Hope they will carry this idea to the City line maybe with the next version of cargo ship??

THANKS for the direction... hmmm.. my first impression.. that kinda looks more like a last night fire in a nearby shelter THAN a piece of art..  I hope it gets better when its actually released.. ? :/

big playset,  230€ seems overpriced, looks like 150€ set to me

They suck you in with a cheap boat only to deliver a punch to the stomach with the dock.

Anyone who has ever had a boat or a dock knows there’s nothing cheap about either

This picture seems a little bit strange to me; all the minifigure are exactly same as The Ninjago City and the position as well, is it the real box of The Dock?

It's preliminary box art. It says "placeholders" over the minifigure section.

Looks like a LOT of trans-blue 2 by 1 tiles forming the 'water' level!

[Ciaraf76]

Well, I'm a bit disappointed - doens't look as good as I hoped.

And are those dark red tubes forming the dock?
